DURHAM, N.C. (AP)

Oleg Parent's 19-yard field goal in the second overtime boosted
North Carolina Central past St. Augustine's on Saturday in a game
that saw all the scoring come after halftime.

Visiting St. Augustine, a Division II school, appeared poised
for an upset until NC Central's Jordan Reid hit Adrian Wilkins in
the end zone from 2 yards out to bring the Eagles into a 13-13 tie
with 29 seconds remaining in regulation. Each team scored in the
first overtime.

Reid completed 24 of 43 passes for 253 yards. And TD passes to
Wilkins and Lamar Scruggs in the second half.

St. Augustine's didn't go away in the first overtime, scoring on
a 25-yard pass from Brian Richards, a wide receiver, to Jermaine
Jones. Reid answered for NC Central, however, with a TD run from
the 4.

Richards also caught a touchdown pass from AJ Gilford, who
passed for 192 yards.
